Storage Instructions

All products from Apex Health Performance are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.

Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

Neuropeptide signalling orchestrates T cell differentiation.

Nature 2024

Here we dissected the dynamic regulation of T1 cell differentiation during in vitro polarization, and during in vivo differentiation after acute viral infection. We found that RAMP3, a component of the receptor for the neuropeptide CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide), has a cell-intrinsic role in T1 cell fate determination.

Optimization of protein hydrolysis conditions and antioxidant activity of tetrapeptide Asp-Arg-Glu-Leu by elevating the Nrf2/Keap1-p38/PI3K-MafK signaling pathway.

Food & function 2021

Tetrapeptide Asp-Arg-Glu-Leu (DREL) was isolated from Jiuzao protein hydrolysates (JPHs) by alkaline proteinase (AP) and exhibited antioxidant activity in the HepG2 cell model in the previous study. Considering the limitation of in vitro assays, the AAPH-induced oxidative stress Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model was selected to measure the antioxidant capacity of DREL in vivo.

EDR Peptide: Possible Mechanism of Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis Regulation Involved in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) 2020

The tripeptide promotes the activation of the antioxidant enzyme synthesis in the culture of cerebellum neurons in rats. Thus, the EDR peptide can change the activity of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, the synthesis of proapoptotic proteins (caspase-3, p53), proteins of the antioxidant system (SOD2, GPX1), transcription factors PPARA, PPARG, serotonin, calmodulin.

Role of Mono- and Divalent Ions in Peptide Glu-Asp-Arg-DNA Interaction.

The journal of physical chemistry. B 2019

The interaction of the regulatory biologically active peptide Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR) with DNA is considered by spectral, NMR, viscosimetry, and molecular dynamics methods. It was shown that EDR can partly penetrate into the major groove of DNA and affect the base atoms, mainly the N7 and O6 of guanine. It was observed that Mg ions can promote DNA-EDR interaction due to their effective screening of the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA. This action of Mg remains in salted solution as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are synthesized versions of naturally occurring peptides, manufactured to precise specifications for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: High purity (≥98%), lyophilized form for stability, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis (COA), and manufactured under strict quality control protocols.

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample, measured via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Our Standard: All our research peptides maintain ≥98% purity, verified by third-party laboratory testing and documented in our Certificates of Analysis.
